DropMenu with indication of subpages?

Hi!

Is there a way to make DropMenu give a class to each page that has subpages? Sort of like the tree in the manager?

I use css to hide all list items except the ones with a parent with class="here", and I want a way to show visitors which pages have subpages...

I’ve searched extensively, but I’m either not using the right search words, or nothing has been written about this in the forums...

Good question. I’m interested in an answer, too. Somebody?

There is an indication of the opposite. You have a class "last", whenever that page do not have any children.

Does this resolve your css matters?

Funny you ask this, I have the need for the very same thing, as anyone who builds a pure css dropmenu will if the’re concerned with UI.

To my knowledge, DropMenu (and its variant) does not provide the necessary code to do what you (and I) need : e.g a css class for every folder with at least one children.

The "last" class won’t help with this, I am afraid, as it only styles the last element of a list...

No and no. The "last" class is only applied to the last list item in the list. It doesn’t apply to other list items, regardless of wether they have children or not. I’ve checked: I have a menu where the last four items in the main list don’t have children, and only the last one gets the "last" class.

I need a "has_children"-class that applies to every list item with children, not only the last item on the list.

I see now. I can do that (I think).

Stand by.

That would be awesome

I fear this is not a complete solution, just a hint:
children are always wrapped in a sub <ul> element. A childless node could therefore be detected by a li li sequence - i.e. with no ul in between. In CSS it should be possible to create a selector for this like "li>li".
Don’t know if this helps, just a thought...

I’ve tried to do so but IE (as usual shoud I say) does not offer support of this (as far as i know)
